We'll be picking our 2 nigerian dwarf goats up in a few weeks. Thought I'd do a survey of those more experienced.
Sooo, what do you wish you'd known beforehand? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Fortunately, we learned this from the people who sold us our first two. Have some baking soda at hand, for your goats, available to them on demand. Sometimes a goat will get into something which will cause digestive problems and bloating. The baking soda REALLY helps. When they need it they love it. George |

How they will exploit any weakness in a fence. If there is a spot where the ground is low, such as a small ditch, the goats will push at the hole until they squeeze out. |

Ditto on the fences. They will ruin ANY fance in months. ND's love to eat. Ours will eat till they explode. Hard to control portions when they are pushing each other at the feed. My wife has resorted to feeding them separately, which is a nuisance. But it's the only way to keep the aggressive ones from getting all the feed. They are fun though. Enjoy the experience. |
I wish I knew that they need shots like all animals do! The people we got them from said they never worm them or anything. So make sure you know what shots they need. Also find a vet that knows about goats! Clear the area where they will be of posinous plants and cherry trees. I was told red maple is a no no also. I always thought red maples had reddish to purple looking leaves, but learned quickly they are green, after havinh a panic attack after my goats gotten hold of some maple leaves. Thank goodness it was a sugar maple. Beware of the wild plants that grow near where they will eat, lots of plants can make them sick, or kill them, and of course there isn't a list out there that has ALL the facts!!! My goats eat oak leaves, some say that's not good, vet says it's ok,ahhhh, who do you believe!!! We got the goats to eat away brush and stuff, and find out that most of it will do them in! My husband is ready to kill me, because I won't let them free range(while we watch them) for fear they will eat poison. We also learned that once you solve one fence,barn,pen, or run problem 10 more arise! Last but not least, bigger is always better. Whatever size pen, run, barn, or such you are think of, go a little bigger, never seems to be enough room! Brenda |
You probably already realized it, but: They're LOUD, and sometimes rather demanding. I like pygmies the best, and some nubians, but we had to sell ours, cause the neighbors across the canyon keep thinking a baby's dying or something. And pretty much everything that's been said: feed rationing and fences. I also feel guilty when it comes time to burn off their horns. :-( |

Almost any tree in their enclosure will be killed by their rubbing horns and/or nibbling at the bark. If you want to keep a tree, keep goats away from it. |

I wish I would have known how much fun they are to have around. I would have had them sooner. Not over feeding them grain is important. You can kill them with kindness...and they are pretty convincing when they tell you they are starving. I have a dozen goats of various breeds and ages and mine free range with no problem. They are a friendly group and the first few weeks I stayed with them and walked with them where they were allowed to be. Now they have their own routine. I still need to walk out back with them to get them out of the barn, but once they start eating I can slip away without them following me. They seem to keep the same routine everyday...browsing their favorite spots in the same order....finishing with the pine trees then back to the barn. One thing I do keep in mind now, is that when I am purchasing a goat, I make sure they have been handled and are used to people. They are just easier to handle when you do need to get ahold of one for hoof trimming or whatever. Have fun! Carrie |
They will climb on anything and everything. They will jump off the things they've climbed on. A mistake we made was having a pile of firewood too close to the fence. They climbed the wood pile and jumped over the fence. They will eat clothing. Left a jacket hanging on a fence post while working in the field and found it had been snacked on. Watching the kids butt heads is fun. Having them head-butt you is not. Carol |

THEY ARE ADDICTING! We started with (3) wethers given to us 4-yrs ago because the little girl didn't want to sell her "fair projects." Now I am about a week or two from having the first of 8-does start kidding. Next week I go and pick up another FB boer doe to add to my other FB girls. Like I said...they are addicting and multiply over night! Well it seems that way...they most generally have twins and triplets. If you have 4-girls having babies...you will most likey have 8 - 12 kids. So the herd grows quickly. Brian |

how wonderful they are. i have full size goats. they are a mess but so endearing. so intelligent. anything made from nature, they might eat. like a cotton rope, they'd eat, but a nylon one they'd leave alone. that concept alone has made things a lot easier. they may test plastic but won't ultimately eat it. |
- Posted by laturcotte1 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 20, 07 at 20:37
We have Nubians and they never ate anything they weren't suppose to but one, Frederick, will find a plant with a root, take the root and make a circle with his head which makes the plant spin in a circle. He will also holds a maple leaf in his teeth and make it twill. He is the one that one day realize, while we were installing some electric cords, he could reach one. Because we couldn't move it until we were done I had to put some dawn dish soap on it so when he tasted it he got soap instead. He would run up the hill then run jumping in the air down the hill right back to the cord. He wouldn't touch it again but come really close, I LOVE THESE GUYS. |
I wish I'd know that goats need to be paired up.Another thing I learned was that fences,in the eyes of a goat,were made to be escaped.I plan on having an electric fence the next time for penning goats.The last thing I wish I'd known is just how determined they can be about getting to something that they want.Sherry |
watch your eyes when you're trimming their hooves...they can cuddle nice and soft then *bam* up comes the head and horns!! so beware if they still have them! other than that....enjoy....they are SO much fun to have as long as you can give them what they need and require to live a long goats life. also...mine always try to kiss me on the lips! |

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Coverage of the making of the transcontinental railroad from start to finish, including the Credit Mobilier scandal. Reviews the decisions made, and the hardships faced by those who built it, from the Irish in the east, to the Chinese in the west, and the Mormons in the middle. Wonderful. Shows the guts and glory of those who build the railroad that brought the country together. In my option, no better words can be written about this book than the following from page 357; A person born into a world of 1829 or earlier was born in a world that president Andrew Jackson could travel no faster than Julius Caesar did in his day (July 100 BC –15 March 44 BC), a world in which information or a thought (new idea) no faster than in Alexander the Great's day (20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC). With the completing of the transcontinental railroad in May 1869 and along with the telegraph beside it, a person could now go from coast to coast in 7 days by rail and to just a few hours for information to be sent by wire. With the 21st century in so much flux, a question asked in the book is what generation lived through the greatest change? Was it the ones who lived through the coming of the automobile and airplane and the beginning of modern medicine? Or those who were around for the invention and use of the atomic bomb and the jet aircraft? Or would it be the ones who experienced the use of the computer, internet and email which led to smartphones? Per the author (Stephen E. Ambrose), for him; it was the generation that lived in the second half of the 19th century; and saw the end of slavery and the Civil War; electricity put to use; the development of the telephone; the completion of the telegraph and most of all, the completion of the transcontinental railroad which helped open up the western part of the country. And remember, this was all done by hand and muscle power. To see the photos in the book and read what had to be done to build the railroad, one has to ask, how did they do it? Read the book and you will find out! Donated by Bill Cullen Review of "Nothing like it in the world" by Stephen E Ambrose (The men who built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869) By any measure, the building of the Transcontinental Railroad was a remarkable achievement, requiring capital, labour and material in stupendous quantities. This masterful account by Stephen Ambrose covers it all, from the initial support of President Lincoln, while the Civil War was still raging, to the larger than life entrepreneurs who set up the Central Pacific and Union Pacific companies, to the engineers and myriad labourers, many of them Chinese or Irish who carried out the back-breaking, relentless labour of grading, filling cutting and blasting the line of the railroad. Early on, the author makes the point that a project on this scale had never been attempted before and almost certainly could not have succeeded without the army officers whose experience in marshalling large bodies of men, both Union and Confederate, was crucial, and the support of the Federal government, with issue of bonds and grants of land adjoining the way. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad united the east and west coasts of the USA for the first time, reducing the travel time from months to days and unlocking unimagined economic benefits. This book recounts a remarkable chapter in American history, in vivid detail, and it is a rollicking good read. no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (26)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0743203178, Paperback)Abraham Lincoln, who had worked as a riverboat pilot before turning to politics, knew a thing or two about the problems of transporting goods and people from place to place. He was also convinced that the United States would flourish only if its far-flung regions were linked, replacing sectional loyalties with an overarching sense of national destiny.Building a transcontinental railroad, writes the prolific historian Stephen Ambrose, was second only to the abolition of slavery on Lincoln's presidential agenda. Through an ambitious program of land grants and low-interest government loans, he encouraged entrepreneurs such as California's "Big Four"--Charles Crocker, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Leland Stanford--to take on the task of stringing steel rails from ocean to ocean. The real work of doing so, of course, was on the shoulders of immigrant men and women, mostly Chinese and Irish. These often-overlooked actors and what a contemporary called their "dreadful vitality" figure prominently in Ambrose's narrative, alongside the great financiers and surveyors who populate the standard textbooks. In the end, Ambrose writes, Lincoln's dream transformed the nation, marking "the first great triumph over time and space" and inaugurating what has come to be known as the American Century. David Haward Bain's Empire Express, which covers the same ground, is more substantial, but Ambrose provides an eminently readable study of a complex episode in American history. --Gregory McNamee (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:49:45 -0400) The account of an unprecedented feat of engineering, vision, and courage. It is the story of the men who built the transcontinental railroad-the investors who risked their businesses and money; the enlightened politicians who understood its importance; the engineers and surveyors who risked, and sometimes lost, their lives; and the Irish and Chinese immigrants, the defeated Confederate soldiers, and the other laborers who did the backbreaking and dangerous work on the tracks. The U.S. government pitted two companies, the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroads, against each other in a race for funding, encouraging speed over caution. At its peak, the work force approached the size of Civil War armies, with as many as 15,000 workers on each line. Nothing like this great work had ever been seen in the world when the golden spike was driven in Promontory Peak, Utah, in 1869, as the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific tracks were joined. This is the story of the brave men, the famous and the unheralded, ordinary men doing the extraordinary -- who accomplished the spectacular feat that made the continent into a nation.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

There's another deserving co-recipient of Cari's award: her employer, Children's Hospital. Thanks to some incredibly creative and hardworking Commute Services employees (and, I assume, a strong commitment from management), Children's is a leader in encouraging (and facilitating) its employees' alternative commutes.
Children's was the very first Transit Now partner and worked with Metro to increase the frequency of the 75 and 25, two routes that serve the campus. (It's the frequent service of the 75 that makes Cari's bus commute possible.) The hospital also runs a shuttle, called the Green Line, which transports employees to and from downtown …

APSACS ropes in services of private hospitals
There is a significant drop of HIV infection among children born to HIV positive mothers in the State. The prevalence rate has come down from 2.5 per cent in 2004 to one per cent now and it is set to further slide to .5 per cent.
This turnaround is very noteworthy considering the fact that State figures high among the AIDS-affected States.
It is largely the mainstreaming of hospitals in the private sector in combating the AIDS menace that has resulted in prevention of parent to child transmission.
Denial of service, exploitation and stigma is widespread in private hospitals and nursing homes when it comes to treatment of HIV positive pregnant women.
But now the resistance is gradually breaking down after the Andhra Pradesh State AIDS Control Society did some sensitisation and roped in their services under public private partnership.
Tripartite agreement
Such an initiative has not been taken by any other State. A tripartite agreement is also signed by APSACS with private hospitals and the technical partners.
Now in addition to the 677 counselling and testing centres of APSACS, the facility is also available at 207 private hospitals.
By year-end, another 200 hospitals may join the fight against AIDS.
"It can't remain a vertical programme anymore. Integration of private sector is essential since it accounts for 50 per cent of deliveries in the State," says R.V. Chandravadan, Director, APSACS.
Statistics show that annually, 18 lakh pregnancies take place in the State. Of this 18,000 are HIV positive pregnancies.
And if no intervention is done about 5,400 children will be born with HIV infection.
During the last one year, the APSACS reached 64,258 pregnant women along with the private hospitals and identified 190 positive cases. Of the positive deliveries, 187 live births took place.
Preventive measures
The HIV positive women are given Nevirapine tablet at the time of delivery which helps reduce the viral load in mothers. And this in turn, reduces the chances of the virus infecting the child.
"Soon after birth, the newborns are given the Nevirapine syrup", said Dr. P.L. Jayachandra Reddy, joint director, APSACS.

Widodo declared Indonesia's new president
PUBLISHED: 23 Jul 2014 07:41:00 | UPDATED: 23 Jul 2014 20:35:25PRINT EDITION: 23 Jul 2014Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has been declared the winner of the presidential election in Indonesia, the world's third-biggest democracy. Photo: Reuters
Joko Widodo has officially won Indonesia's presidential election, while his rival dramatically withdrew from the contest, claiming "massive and systematic cheating".
The country's electoral commission on Tuesday night announced Jakarta's popular governor had won with 53 per cent – or more than 70 million votes – in the hard-fought July 9 poll.
Hours before the declaration, which had already been predicted by several credible surveys, rival candidate Prabowo Subianto rejected the election process.
The ex-general said he and his vice-presidential candidate would exercise their right to reject the "legally tainted" election.
"With this, we withdraw ourselves from the ongoing process," he said.
Consequently, his coalition's witnesses walked out of Indonesia's electoral commission, where tallying was in its final stages.
More than 3000 riot police fortified the building in central Jakarta, but supporters of the divergent camps heeded advice to stay at home.
Fears of riots
The close result and polarising nature of the candidates raised fears of riots, particularly for Jakarta residents with memories of the trouble that came with the fall of former president Suharto in 1998.
Mr Joko, known better as Jokowi, was visiting a Jakarta dam when chaos was breaking out in the opposition coalition.
"I'm sure [Mr] Prabowo, as a statesman, will put the national interest above all," Mr Joko told the Jakarta Globe newspaper.
The formality caps a remarkable rise for Mr Joko, 53, whose journey from bamboo shack to president has shaken Indonesia's establishment and inspired millions of ordinary citizens.
As mayor of the central Java city of Solo and governor of Jakarta, he has been lauded as a hands-on reformist.
His vice-president will be the experienced Jusuf Kalla, 72, who was President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's VP during his first term.
Mr Joko is tipped to retain Dr Yudhoyono's foreign policy flavour.
Speculation of repercussions
In a debate during the campaign, he spoke up for strengthening people-to-people links with Australia to build trust and respect for Indonesia.
It was unclear on Tuesday whether Mr Prabowo, 62, was reserving his right to challenge the election in the constitutional court.
Most analysts doubt he would have the grounds to succeed.
There was also speculation of repercussions for Mr Prabowo personally, with pundits pointing to a little-known electoral law that could see him face up to five years jail and fined up to Rp50 billion ($4.6 million) for withdrawing from the race.
The former son-in-law of Mr Suharto was popular with voters feeling some nostalgia for the past and who liked his strong nationalist rhetoric.
But he was also dogged by claims of human rights abuses from his time in East Timor and in the chaos that came with the collapse of Mr Suharto.
Dr Yudhoyono on Monday hinted that the losing party on Tuesday should accept defeat graciously.
"Admitting defeat is noble. Congratulating the winner is noble," he said in a speech, according to reports.
Mr Joko is expected to be inaugurated on October 20.

Article ID: 919578 - View products that this article applies to. On This PageSYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario. You have a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based terminal server in your organization. To log on to this terminal server, a user is required to use an Infineon smart card together with the cryptographic service provider (CSP) that is included with Windows Server 2003. When the user exits the terminal server session, the user removes the smart card from the smart card reader that is connected to the client. Although the local system is configured to lock the terminal server session at this point, the local session remains unlocked. Then, the user reinserts the smart card. Even though the local session is unlocked, the terminal server session no longer responds. Additionally, CPU usage for the Winlogon instance that belongs to the user session increases to almost 100 percent of the system's resources. CAUSEThis problem occurs because Windows Server 2003 SP1 handles the internal objects for the smart card differently from the way that Windows Server 2003 handles this situation. The CSP has clean-up code that does not recognize the combination of data field contents. Therefore, the clean-up code generates an endless loop. This behavior causes the session to stop responding (hang). This, in turn, triggers a significant increase in CPU usage.

As a writer, I look at character as the number-one starting point of a story — but it's often closely followed by place. And tomorrow night I'm looking forward to talking about place at Wide World Books & Maps in Wallingford — and I hope you'll join me.
I'm conducting a FREE travel-writing workshop that will focus on translating literal journeys into compelling narrative, with writing exercises as well as tips for researching, reporting, and writing travel-themed fiction and nonfiction. In this hour-long workshop, you'll learn how to portray character (even if the character is yourself), develop a storyline, and make your memories jump off the page through vivid description and detail. We'll also talk about the joys and challenges of freelancing as a travel writer — as well as how to write about place without ever leaving your house.
The workshop will be followed by a Q&A and a reading from Forgetting English.

Trovagene, Inc., Achieves Intellectual Property Milestone Under License Agreement With Ipsogen
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trovagene, Inc. (NASDAQ: TROV), a developer of transrenal molecular diagnostics, today announced that it has received a milestone payment from Ipsogen S.A., a subsidiary of the QIAGEN group. This payment comes from a co-exclusive license agreement to manufacture and sell diagnostic kits for the detection of nucleophosmin protein (NPM1) mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The milestone payment was triggered by issuance of U.S. Patent 8,222,370, titled "Nucleophosmin protein (NPM) mutants, corresponding gene sequences and uses thereof." This patent is part of a family of filed patents for Trovagene around NPM that cover the diagnostic use of NPM1 mutations in AML.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120620/LA28014LOGO)
"Trovagene is continuing to expand its commercial activity through its CLIA lab offerings and through external licensing opportunities," said Antonius Schuh, chief executive officer of Trovagene. "Ipsogen and Qiagen are leaders in the field of molecular diagnostics, and we are pleased to be partnering with them to help patients with AML."
AML is a clinically heterogeneous disease with about 200,000 new cases per year worldwide. Subgrouping of AML patients using chromosomal abnormalities provides for more individualized patient prognosis. However, in almost half of AML cases the chromosomes appear normal and provide no guidance for the physician. A discovery by Drs. Brunangelo Falini and Cristina Mecucci, at the Institute of Hematology at the University of Perugia in Italy, showed that many AML patients have mutations in the NPM1 gene, and these mutations are a marker for more favorable clinical outcomes.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network ( www.nccn.org), which sets clinical standards for cancer treatment, has included testing for NPM mutations in their clinical practice guidelines (NCCN Guidelines TM Version 2.2011 – Acute Myeloid Leukemia). NPM1 mutation analysis helps physicians to select more appropriate treatment strategies for AML patients. NPM1 testing may also be useful for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, minimal residual disease monitoring and detecting relapse, and stratifying AML patients when enrolling in clinical trials. Trovagene holds an exclusive worldwide license to US patent 8,222,370 and the corresponding group of U.S. and foreign patent applications. To date, Trovagene has granted nonexclusive sublicenses to offer mutation analysis of NPM1 as a laboratory service for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with AML to Fairview Health Services of Minneapolis, MN; Münchner Leukamielabor GmbH (MLL) in Munich, Germany; Laboratory Corporation of America® Holdings (LabCorp®); InVivoScribe Technologies; and Warnex Medical Laboratories; and co-exclusive licenses to manufacture and sell NPM1 mutation assays to Ipsogen S.A. and Asuragen, Inc. Laboratories interested in obtaining a license for testing NPM1 mutations for AML patients should contact Trovagene directly.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

What was the learning experience like when you were in school?
Did you sit through a bunch of films, slide shows, and underwhelming lectures? Did you often sit and stare out of the classroom windows, wishing that your lessons were more interesting? Well, things sure have changed since some of us were in school. Today's students are learning in a fun and interesting way thanks to game-based training and gamification.
Newer generations, such as Millennials, are more familiar with the Internet and video games than previous generations. Lecturing is no longer the most effective method of training. Game-based training, as well as Web-based training, provide a familiar form of delivery along with an interactive approach to learning. Game-based training combined with lecture-based training can increase participant interest and make both training and learning more enjoyable.

"The newest from bestseller Stoller (Stitch 'n Bitch) gives men their first chance to snuggle up with her fuzzy, fashion-forward knitting projects. While the book is aimed largely at the women who knit for them, men will be happy to know that Stoller's first concern is for their particular tastes: many interesting elements—fancy stitches, unusual yarn, unique designs—are anathema to most males, who prefer simple pieces in a darker palate. Part two includes a wide array of (not too) colorful, occasionally edgy projects. Though there are designs which any man would be proud to wear (scarves, caps, tube socks and sweaters), many projects are geared toward younger men; among funky fashions, two standouts are the well-proportioned biker jacket (with long, slim arms and body for full coverage) and a felted DJ Bag with a retro cassette tape pattern (though some designs—such as the beer bottle-shaped throw pillows—are just plain juvenile). As expected, Stoller's directions are clear, terms are well explained, illustrations are easy-to-follow and accompanying photos are stylish and sexy, though projects are not rated for difficulty. Those unafraid to venture beyond their comfort zone will find something suitable for most any man on their holiday gift list."— Publishers Weekly

Autism and Epilepsy Cases Share Mutations
Simons Foundation Autism Research Institute
Date Published:
October 15, 2013
About one-third of people with autism suffer from epilepsy. This overlap suggests that the two disorders may have a common origin — a theory borne out by examples of shared genetics. Mutations in GABRB3, a brain receptor linked to autism, are prevalent in severe childhood epilepsy, according to a study published in Nature. The study also found that many of the spontaneous mutations found in children with epilepsy overlap with those linked to autism and fragile X syndrome.

Poor neighborhoods grew less poor in the 1990s, according to two newly released reports, and important lessons reside in the fact. One is that it was a politically dangerous fiction that the booming economy was a boon to some but not to the really poor.
Dangerous? Yes, because people making that argument then tend to call for governmental interventions that thwart the economic growth, substituting wasteful programs in its place. Let the economy do its good work — get out of the way and cut down on spending — and the sort of thing that happens is that you get a 24 percent decline in the number of residents in neighborhoods with poverty rates 40 percent and higher.
The economic surge was in fact a major reason for the shrinkage, according to researchers quoted in an Associated Press account of the studies by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute. Federal programs refurbishing poor neighborhoods may have helped, they say, but look at what else lent a hand, according to these scholars: welfare reform.
In the view of some at the time of its enactment, welfare reform stood for victim-bashing, a callous disregard of the plight of the deprived. But most Americans knew that the old system actually encouraged joblessness, that it in effect subsidized poverty. The results of reform have proven them correct: There has been a reduction of both the poverty rate and the welfare rolls.

Nearly Rs 18 lakh were spent on six foreign trips, lasting 28 days, undertaken by the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee's Chairman Suresh Kalmadi in the build-up to the event, even though the amount was not part of his travel allowance.
Mr Kalmadi's travel expenses for these trips stood at Rs 17.72 lakh, CWG OC's RTI official Y D Mehta revealed but he could not provide details of Mr Kalmadi's travel allowance saying, "The information is not available with the accounts department."
During his trip to London for the Queen's Baton Relay, Mr Kalmadi's travel expenses were borne by Air India.
Asked how much was spent on salary and other perks for Mr Kalmadi, the response was that the Member of Parliament was not paid for his role in the OC. The OC also did not have any information about the number of staff hired during the run-up to the Games and on whether any advertisements were placed in newspapers for the purpose.
Giving specifics of Mr Kalmadi's trips abroad, RTI applicant Ramesh Verma was told that the OC chairman had travelled to Sri Lanka, Canada, Greece, Zambia and the West Indies at various times.
The OC is facing charges of corruption in the preparations of the Games and two of its former officials T S Darbari and Sajay Mohendroo have been arrested by the CBI.

I have a four group II's that were just planted this year. They are all doing well but I would like to cut them back to help them get more established. They are 2-5 feet now. How far do I cut them back?
Thanks! |

- Posted by flowerfan2 z8/ WA (My Page) on Thu, Jul 17, 08 at 0:28
I wouldn't cut them back until late winter or early next spring. That will stimulate new shoots to emerge giving you a fuller plant. Cutting it back now would hurt your clematis. It is a young plant and it is trying to establish a good root system this year. Taking half of it's food source away by cutting it back could cause root die back. Just leave it alone and keep it well watered. Clematis are long lived plants and take 3-5 years to get well established. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 17, 08 at 9:28
I disagree. It won't hurt to cut back your clematis now - cutting back top growth actually stimulates root development, even during the prime growing season. You can safely take the vines back by a third. Plus with some type 2's, a lighter pruning after the initial bloom flush will encourage a later rebloom. I'd wait until late winter/early spring for doing the recommended hard prune - you could do it now but would need to repeat the procedure again at that time anyway. flowerfan, we cut back the potted clems at my nursery multiple times a season, both to tidy the vines for maintenance issues, encourage additional flowering and to stimulate root development. Cutback vines actually produce a denser root system than those that do not receive this treatment. |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Thu, Jul 17, 08 at 12:32
I agree with Gardengal. Don't hard prune them all the way to the ground but if you take off about a third you may get more blooms and it is beneficial. |
